I've decided today to write to you on a subject which many get confused about due to it's small technical differences.

What is a proxy or vpn?

To put it in simplest terms, a proxy or vpn is a server on the internet which allows traffic to be rerouted through itself.

What then is the difference?

While both allow to reroute traffic proxies mostly are just for http traffic (port 80, Web surfing) and not necessarily encrypted, While this may be good if you wish to surf a website which is blocked in your country, It does not give you complete anonymity on the web.

These updates affect your privacy by allowing Microsoft to scan and mine your PC for information.
Their claim is that it only searches for illegal copies of programs / games but I don't think it's their right to
take away our privacy on our computer.

I am very excited to present to you a product of my own design meant for your free use as long as it's not for commercial use.
a password Generator that has no internet connection, no database and is persistent per usage on all computers.

I have just now received this attempt of scam to my Gmail,
While this is web related it can happen in whatever other field you may work or study at.
It might come from your university or your place of work.

This is quite advanced since they did some research to find out my real name and didn't just post what my name as it appears at Gmail.

If you ever receive a mail from an institute or place that asks you to follow a link, instead of following the link access the website of that place by typing the address yourself manually and making sure.
